McCue, 19, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at Helen Hayes Hospital in Haverstraw after doctors were forced to amputate his hands and feet to stop the spread of a deadly infection he contracted while sick with the flu this past winter.

In recent months, the community has rallied behind McCue, organizing several fundraisers to help cover his medical costs and help him meet his goal of returning to serve as a New City volunteer firefighter.

McGuire, 15, continues to receive lengthy treatments of chemotherapy and radiation at Westchester Medical Center. In December 2017, the North Rockland High School student was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Hodgkin Lymphoma, a type of cancer that starts in white blood cells and becomes part of the body's immune system.

With her mother sick as well, her father, Eric, and Olivia’s twin brother Nick support the family any way they can. Several fundraisers, including the annual Polar Plunge, have donated money to help the McGuire family over the last several months.

Now in its 31st year, the Phillips Tee-Off For Tots tournament has raised over $250,000 for the families of local children with mounting medical expenses, while giving golfers and non-golfers the chance to become a champion.

Helping children who are battling some type of illness just wouldn't be possible without the generosity of Rockland County, said Jeff Millman, who founded the benefit with his law partner Frank Phillips over three decades ago.

"Our efforts are really a credit to the giving and caring community in Rockland County. The support of those who support the cause bolsters the spirits and resiliency of our beneficiaries and their families," Millman said.

Following the tournament, a barbecue will be held at Patriot Hills’ clubhouse, featuring all-you-can eat food, beer, wine and soda, live music and prizes.

All money raised will go to the McGuire and McCue families for medical expenses.
